Session TimeOut

-

In Liferay session timeout will be 30 mins by default. If you were idle for 30 mins liferay will expire the session.

Sometimes based on the requirement we want to increase the session timeout.

So look into the portal.properties  file and search for the "session.timeout"  we can see the  minutes it was set. By default it was 30 minutes.
#
# Specify the number of minutes before a session expires. This value is
# always overridden by the value set in web.xml.
#
session.timeout=30


Even if we increase this value it would effect because it will be override the entry in the web.xml . so as best option remove the entry in the web.xml

Navigate to the tomcat folder as <tomcat>/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml

Search for the entry "session-timeout" you can find the following snippets.


30



Remove this entry in the web.xml and increase the value in the portal-ext.properties to your value, suppose if i need to increase the session timeout to 1 hour we can set as,

session.timeout=60



That it restart the server, your changes will work as excepted.

    Is there any absolute session timeout concept? Even user is active, if I want to force session timeout after say 4 hours, how do I do that?

Viewing the SQL Query in liferay : debugging the SQL Query in Hibernate

-
Sometimes we have to know SQL query hiting in DB to retrieve the list. Suppose When we are writing the DynamicQuery , Some times we have to know SQL query it is generating to hit DB. So generally it is useful when we are debugging the Query it is generated. In hibernate we used the write the property in XML file as hibernate.show.sql to view the query. In Liferay also we can also set the below property to true in the portal-ext.properties to view the SQL query at the console. hibernate.show_sql=true. By adding the above property it will just reterive the parameters. What if we want to display the parameters. Add the below properties in log4j.properties it will display the paramters also. # logs the SQL statements #log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=debug # Logs the JDBC parameters passed to a query #log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=trace In Liferay log4j is located in the below location tomcat-7.0.42\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes Also we want to see hibernate ses
